The flippant remark of Fred Grant
that "a surplus is easier to handle than
a deficiency promises to be one of the
battle cries of the party which pronoun-
ces tobacco necessity. It is the utter
ance Of a shallow Office seeker and its
plausible sophistry makes it a fit com
panion for the vile subterfuge of pretend
ed concern for American labor. 1t is
highly proper that a parasite like Fred
Grant seould furnish a battle-cry for
those who are robbing the people for the
benefit of favored class.

AN examination of the report of the
Department of Agriculture shows that
there is twelve times as much money IN
vested N cattle in this country as in
sheep and still the raisers of cattle are
not protected by a tariff. There is by no
means wool enough in the country to
supply the demand and tax of Sc per
cent. is levied on all imported wool. There
was imported last. year raw wool to the
value of $685., $40 on which duty of
S5,899,S17 was paid. The wool crop Of
the country the same year 265 ,OOO, 600 lbs.
worth SOS, 100000. AS wool was import
ed it is reasonably certain that purchasers
of this home raised wool paid the full
tariff limit which is tax of S18,0O0,OOO.
This did not go into the United States
treasury but into the pockets of the wool
growers. That is the bonus paid wool
growers by the people of the United
States as protection to American labor.
It must not be forgotten that the manu-
facturerd wooden article is still further
protected and the final purchaser contrib
utes his share of at least S18,O0O,OOO more
to the manufacturers as protection for
American labor.
But the cattle raiser is not protected
and while there was $16,351, $40 worth OF
wool imported last year, there was S24,
225,776 worth OF hides and skins import
ed duty free. Which is the more import
ant industry in. Wisconsin, cattle or
sheep-raising? The few tobacco raisers
in Rock and Dane counties are protected.
The man who raises cattle must compete
with foreign nations in the home market.
What traitor to his country Cleveland
is to ask that the tariff be revised so that
equal justice be done to all!
There is not a farmer in the country
who should not demand a revision of the
tariff, except the wool growers, sugar
planters and tobacco producers. The
farmer is taxed to enrich the manufacture
er and is wheedled into the belief that it
secures him good home market. Let
him Judge for himself how good his home
market is from the prices he receives and
not listen to sophistry.

The acquital Of Arensdorf has elated
the liquor dealers of Sioux City to such
an extent that they boldly defy the laws
relating to the liquor traffic. This pur-
pose is very foolish one and will work
ultimate injury to their cause. The anti
prohibition society of this state does
more to advance the cause of prohibition
than do the prohibitionists themselves
Liquor dealers have been too dictatorial
and meddlesome and have brought upon
themselves the injustice of which they
now complain.

Mississippi, South Caralina and Florida.
Bill has been taken a Rip Van Wrinkle

mind which he nursed before he went in
to political Information. He has a fogy
following throughout the north and they
are showering praise on this tattered rel

a SOCIETY has been organized in New
York to bring about reform in the man.
ner of conducting funerals. The change
is IN the direction of simplicity and doing
away with all the pomp which now makes
funeral possessions a show. A man can
hardly afford to die those days because
OF the expense attending his funeral. 1t
Is far cheaper to marry than to die and
that is, perhaps, one reason why so many
prefer the former. The reform promised
by the New York society is in the right
direction. If death can only be made
cheaper some old skinhints may be in
duced to die and thus benefit the world.

IT now transpires that John Killen of
Cato is the man who has been stirring
Brandeis up to ''muuiny and rage" Bran.
deis was advised to cake call the family"
to The Pilot office and to be shure not to
forget the 'old woman; and that the
more books he brought with him the
more certain he was to get full hearing;
that he should talk loud. as the superin-
tendent's hearing was not good, and to
"hang to it if he wanted to get justice
Brandeis was well trained and followed
his instructions to the letter. But the
Cato merchant is now in the meshes. He
promised he would accompany Fritz to
Germany to look over the schools there
with view to making needed changes in
the Cato school based upon the exper-
fence gathered In the Fatherland and now
Fritz wants to go and K1llen is making ex-
cuses. Fritz has package of liver worst,
lmburger and rye bread all ready for the
contemplated trip and he calls regularly
once day at Killen's store for his travel
ing companion. John has exhausted all
possible excuses and now he goes In hid
ing when he hears that Fritz is in the
land. Brandeis begins to suspect some
thing and he makes the welkin ring when
ever he is forced to retCrn to his home
with his stock of provisions. Killen has
hired small boy to steal the liver wuorst
and hopes to have peace while new sup
ply is being prepared. Dire retribution
always follows man who plots against
a poor but deserving editor. Fritz goes
to Cato now instead of to Manitowoc and
he viii soon be marching on the new en-
envy at the head of his family unless that
promise to go to Europe is faithfully
performed.
